I can't decide whether to attend this track meet or the track workout.
Anthony: I can't advise you, but I will tell you what's on tap for the workout on Feb. 9: 800s, lots of them, either at McMillan Speed pace (roughly 10-12secs faster than what you'd for an 800 at 10K pace) or Yasso pace (20-30secs faster than what you'd run for an 800 at marathon pace). Cheers!
i may just have to go to the workout then....i absolutely love 800s
ughh...need to go to the dmv after work...will still try to make it to the meet.
Anthony, I'll advise you. Don't do a track workout or the track meet. You just ran a marathon on Sunday! Take time to recover!
@Steve, you're in! Everyone else -- we just need four more Whippets to make this a team (and if we're only one short, I'll find someone on the sidelines and rope them in). Join us!
Hey scott if you have 4 runners for the relay we can join forces as you suggested. My team has 4 runners as well.
Great minds think alike, Travis! Let's talk at 7pm on Thursday.
Unofficial results are posted...

Great job, all! Steve, were you there? I looked for you but we haven't met so I wasn't sure if I saw you.
I am looking for teammates for the 8x200 relay. Marvin, Catie -- are you in? Everyone else -- please let me know if I can put you on the relay team. It's just one lap!
